My iphone 4s is still disabled after restore and update, what do i do from here

My power button is broken and my phone is disabled. i let my phone die and used itunes to restore it but its still disabled and i dont know what to do.

Troubleshooting steps for non-responsive iphone are on page 130 of iphone users guide:

You could also make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store. If it is defective they should replace on the spot.

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

  • IPhone 4s won't activate after restore and update

    After trying to update my iPhone 4s to iOS7 and it crashing halfway through I had to restore the phone. Now the phone seems to have iOS 7 but while trying to set it up it comes up with 'Could Not Activate iPhone'. It's something to do with the activation sever not being able to be reached. I have no idea what any of this means and every other discussion confuses me so if someone could explain how on earth I get my bloody phone back in simple language that would be marvellous

    I have the same problem.  Have you figured it out?

  • Iphone 5 going crazy even after restored and updated

    I have an iphone 5 siri kept coming on and my apps kept closing and it kept taking screen shots i restored it and updated it and it is still doing the exact same stuff. I do not want to pay for a new phone. please help.

    Since buying a 3rd party charger cord (not the brick) just the FireWire cord, my phone has been acting possessed or hacked. I have watched it open my personal notes on my phone, add notes, random words & things to my sentences, using proper capitalization, then copying & pasting large chunks of my personal notes , then goes back to home screen, shows some 2-finger-gestures, copying/pasting, launching my email, then pasting in fragments of my notes into an email, then quickly sending it somewhere before I can see all that is happening. The moves are so fast. This ghost or 3rd party hacker that came for free from my Chinese made FireWire cord has been super annoying. Today it changed all my settings, & closed out over 30 web pages I had saved in Safari. This thing does what it wants, messes with your settings, browses around your phone, copies & emails your stuff, then deletes the sent folder trail. I have video of it that I may try to upload tomorrow. It put my phone on airplane mode last night so I missed calls & communications this morning. As I watch it, it doesn't seem like a script of behaviors being executed, seems slower with more random decisions being made, and even efforts to cover it's tracks. Very very very very strange. More of us need to come fwd so that this problem gets dealt with.

  • TS2446 Apple ID still disable after resetting password. What is the fix?

    Apple ID still disable after resetting password. What is the fix?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you have tried Apple's recommendation to reset your password, and it has not succeeded, then I suggest you contact Apple using the Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak.  After restoring and updating my phone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!

    I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak.  After restoring and updating my phone to get rid of jailbreak the iphone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!  I am new to all this and want to start using the phone legitimately.

    I believe from the situation you describe your iPhone 3g has the iPAD baseband 6.15.00 which is interfering with iTunes. Remember Apple does not allow downgrade of software typically. The current 3g firmware 4.2.1 has a baseband 5.15.04 which is lower than, what I believe your baseband is of 6.15.00. So to install the current 3g firmware 4.2.1 would actually be a baseband downgrade, which iTunes will not allow. So to fix your iPhone you will have to search the Web like diesel vdub said. There are no parts to buy and your iPhone will work again I promise.

    iphone in recovery mode,i'm restoring and updating to itunes but download cannot be completed...
    my phone wont open, i can't even turn the power on.
    what to do? pls help
    (iphone 4  and  iphone 4s)

    So I just did this on my iPhone 4 and it worked like a charm it unlocked it immediately. My phone was put into recovery mode and I know that not all data is deleted it just puts the phone into a sort of hibernation in order for the files to stay uncorrupted. I went to http://www.recovery-ipad.com/iphone-stuck-in-recovery-mode.html  downloaded the software it unlocked my phone in a matter of minutes. Calls, messages, photos, apps, and voicemail was all there as if it never happened  If you leave it unregistered you don't have to pay for it works for either windows or mac. Hope this helps!

  • IPhone told me I needed to restore and update, also said the phone did not have an IMEI number. I tried to restore from iTunes but keep getting an error message.

    Ok I need help. I went to use my phone, put in my passcode, emergency dial came up, then the phone said I didn't have an imei #. I hit the back button and then I was told I needed to restore and update using iTunes. I tried several times to do this and my phone is still not working. It acts like it's updating, but once the bar reaches the other side of my phone, iTunes tells me there was an error. I used all the ports on my pc, changed cables, restarted my pc, and still nothing. Can anyone please help me. This phone is my life and I can't afford to get another one.

    Sounds like you might need to take it to an Apple Store but if it is an iPhone 3G it would no longer be under warranty.
    Looking at the Apple Store online you can get an iPhone 3GS from $49 on AT&T if it comes to having to get a new one. Your other option is second hand.

  • I cannot back up after restored and updated my iPad

    First, my iPad2 ran on ios 4.3.3. Then I backed up it and kept its library and setting
    Next, I restored and updated to run on ios 5.1.1.
    The system (on iPad) asked me to set up as a new one or back up via icould or itune.
    I surely chose the last one because of an old ios.
    The picture of usb cable and itune figure then shown, so I plugged in with my PC and launched itune programme.
    Wonderingly, it didnt have any buttoms which i could back up (plz see the piture below)
    Q : What should I do for backing up it into my iPad?
    PS : I have already followed this http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/#section_7 but it does not help!!!!!!

    That is exactly what I would do with this situation. Like I said I have seen this problem before but I know that I was not able to figure out what the problem was.
    Make sure that you are running the latest version of iTunes on your PC - and you could also try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes to see if that helps. I just don't know if that will work or if that is the reason that you are seeing this.

  • Apple ID still disabled after reset and change of payment methods.

    I am needing to update my computer ASAP, however, apparently my Apple ID is disabled. I have reset my password, that did not work. So I updated my payment methods. It STILL does not work, and I am beyond frustrated. I have had so many problems with Apple (the only reason I still deal with apple is because of my Mac)
    I have looked at several other threads that had advice that did not work for me. Is there any other ideas?

    It could be disabled for any number of reasons, you should call Apple and ask. It's probably not a technical issue that we can solve, but an account issue: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

  • Lost photos / camera roll after restore and update.

    As the title says , I recently had to restore my iphone 3gs due to having problems with MAIL (problem fixed now.) but after doing a full backup and restore on the phone and update to the iOS 4 ( i think>) , I lost all of the photos that I had in the camera roll album folder , now I have loads of photos there that I do not want to loose ! I know there should be a way of getting them back from the backup but how ? Plus to prove even more that they are still there somwhere , when I connect it to the iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista) , under the yellow section bar it shows there are 315 (1.26 gb) photos on my device...but when I disconnect it and go into the album , there are 0 ! Now I have been reading about this online and people say that you basically take the images off your pc and sync them back onto the phone...but I havent got them saved on my pc anywhere...so where are they? PLEASE HELP me out on this one ,
    thank you in advance.

    The only place they may be is in a previous backup from before the restore. No Apple tool that I know of accesses these files within the backup file. There are reportedly some 3rd party tools that can get to the photos imbeded in the backup. The other option is to restore the old backup and then import the camera roll via iphoto or some other tool.
    If you have no copy of the old backup, I think you are out of luck.
    As you know by now, the iPhone's camera roll is treated as a digital camera, not as part of the sync.
    For the second post, if you'd like Apple to add the import to the sync process, you can request that via the www.apple.com/feedback web site.
    Thanks.

  • Iphone 3GS error when trying to restore and update

    I took my old Iphone 3GS and tried to run an update on a new Itunes acct so I could use like a ipod since my other acct is tied to my current phone. Itunes did a restore and then errored when it tried to update with the latest software. Now it is only showing the image of a USB cord to be plugged into Itunes and my Itunes is not seeing the phone anymore.
    Please help if there is a way...I did the troubleshoot on the device before and updated drivers. They were current before the restore and my computer still sees the iphone under upspecified - Apple Mobile USB Device Driver.
    Thank you very much for any advice you can offer.

    Thank you for the quick response and I went throught the step shown but iTunes is still not seeing my device in itunes menu when i do this action. The phone is also still showing the connect to itunes screen and no pop-up to restore has happened. I tried the steps 3 times.
    Also, I tried to troubleshoot the device and see if that would correct the computer seeing as it did before but it says there is no problem with the device.
    any other thoughts?
